Panama day two

Yesterday we started the day with a visit to the most famous place in Panama - the Canal. The visitor's center has a lookout above the locks, a film telling the story of the construction of the canal and a brief history of the country, and a museum showing some of the engineering equipment used to complete the locks, displays of insects that have been found in the area and a ship simulator making you feel you are on the bridge as the ship moves through the locks.There is a computer where you type in your sir name and see if any men with your name worked on the canal. GALE - my maiden name showed up 8 times. I found it all interesting and enjoyable.

(sorry if this page is a little confusing I can't get the photos to load on this borrowed computer)

good morning you'all - Panama has been a surprise to me. A place that I would not have ever put on my 'want to visit' list if our friends had not transfered here. The pride - national and personal - that these people show is incredible. more pics in a bit.

Welcome to Flowers and More

2013 - I am now back in the USA and living in Houston, Texas. You can't read the early post without realizing that I was in Brasil for Camillo. I will miss Camillo as my friend, travel companion and guide. As I change 'Flowers' will also be evolving, adapting to my new old life. I will try to guide its changes but it will be an adventure for both you and me as what all this change will means.

History:

2007-2012, Although I live in Brasil, Camillo and I have traveled in North America, South America and Europe extensively. I always take copious photos. I love flowers and gardens, and beautiful spaces. I want to share with you life in Brasil and share my photos. I hope you enjoy them and send me comments about your experiences.

About Me

"Tiny Steps" is my second blog. Its purpose is not yet clear, but lurking in the back of my mind is the possibility that it will give voice to the many changes in me personally and to my life as I adjust from life as an expat in Brasil to a widow, a late in life single. Also lurking is the thought that this blog will help bring back my love of photography, of writing just for the joy of seeing the words laid out and to the sharing of both to my friends from "Flowers and More"
